Employer Appeal for a Determination Issued for State Disability Benefits

If you object to a written determination, you may file an appeal. Each determination contains a statement concerning your appeal rights. All appeals must be in writing. An appeal sent by fax or e-mail is also acceptable.

The appeal must be received or postmarked within seven days after delivery or ten days after the date of the mailing of the determination.

When an appeal is filed, you will be notified by mail of the date, the time and location of an appeals hearing. It is advisable that the employer attend the appeals hearing since only first hand testimony is acceptable. It is not necessary to bring an attorney, but you may be represented by an attorney or any other person you choose. You will be notified of the results of the hearing by mail.

The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development is an equal employment opportunity employer and provides equal opportunity programs.
Auxiliary aids and services are available upon request to assist individuals with disabilities.
